I think DJI would need to change the laws of physics to make much impact on this 'issue'. If you want a camera that records for extended periods while its CPU is going flat out, don't buy one that is in a small case which can't continuously dissipate the heat. Or, as you say, use it where it has some chance of being cooled. Of course I can't prove it but it seems to me that most people who have bought it and actually use it in real world situations - like me - don't find that overheating is a significant problem. Usually mine gets no more than a bit warm - here in sunny Australia.... Some people seem to want to do crazy things with it - one reviewer complained that it couldn't be used for 4K120 vlogging. Hmmm. Slow motion vlogging... now that's a new concept. I mean, really.
I have overheating issues with Go Pro too so I am still going for this at least for the convenient design plus Rock steady stabilization and low light capability.
Hi folks. Cooling air flow on bike, solar heating through car windscreen on black camera body as mentioned below. The comment about the codecs (H264 vs H265) may well be right, H265 requires a lot of computer effort to encode. I'm not at all sure why hyper lapse should be a problem, the cameras just running a timer between taking the frame shots. Does seem a bit odd that this happens. Maybe the heat cut off settings are too conservative? Letting it run too hot though would shorten its lifetime.
Great video Young!! This is a big No No for me - I live in India and the average normal temperature in my place is 30 Degree Celsius!! Everything hot already, don't want something hotter!! Haha!!
Young next time chose the white body camera. She doesn't overheat. For example, in very sunny day body black car is very hot. But body white car isn't hot. And when you are inside a black car in hot weather, it's terrible. But in white car is more comfortable. I was surprised that the camera isn't powered off in such cold weather.
did you set temp to high? and is it possible to turn of screen during recording? i think the oled screen always on is whats causing the overheating. btw insta360 go 2 cant record 4k tho, so its not really a comparison.
If set to high, it still does overheat but it will take a bit longer to overheat. Also it will get super hot that it will hurt your hand if you hold it more than 3 secs. The screen can be turned off while recording.
I see that it overheats in the car, and if I record or have my iPhone in a holder in my car, the windscreen amplifies the heat and the iPhone gets hot. If I record for 40-50min on my iPhone in my workshop on a warm day, it gets warm but does not overheat. Anyway, just sharing my similar experience with my device in a car. Great update BTW - keep smiling 😃
In a car, turn on the air conditioner, and if on the dashboard, direct the fans to the defroster vents for the windshield.. turn it down to a fan, and let the fan keep it chilled.
@@MrPir84free I now have a mount right in front of the vents to keep it cool. I previously had a mount on the windscreen which made the phone hot, and I could not point a vent onto it as it was above the dash and in an awkward spot on the windscreen.
Improving heat dissipation in such a small & powerful piece of tech..... I pick the " final way".. Let's just hope the engineers will eventually find a way to fix the overheating problem! Under the orange overheating sign i see a massive orange car! What a crazy coincidence!!🧡👋 Feels like that car was an Audi 🙂
it's not a fair comparison. recording at 4K is 2 times faster than recording at 1080p (2k). Try using the same resolution for both and use all the same factors like stabilsation off/on
I'm recording in lowest resolution and lowest FPS, screen at lowest brightness, and never get overheating warning, I record up to 30minutes or more and Malaysia is 32c
Thank you for the honest, real-world testing and what you found with the overheating. I was n Florida in September with eh original Action 1 and never got any overheating...next summer I think there will be a lot bigger issue as people use the OA2 for vacation video and it overheats. Not sure if there is much that DJI can do with firmware to correct this. Can you turn off the screen while recording after it starts and the shot is framed to save battery and help with overheating? Do not own, just curious if that is an option.
Here in Taiwan it has been between 15C - 20C and just saw on one of the major local tech TH-cam channels here that it overheats with 5 - 10 minutes of recording. Winter is short here and I feel sorry for those who got this because it's unacceptable. Don't bring it when you come visit (Yes, we're still waiting for Young 😋).
Just got mine and tested it on the magnetic lanyard while cycling. Mine shut down around 5mins just with 1080p 60fps and it was at night. This is really disappointing. I feel like I wasted money with this.
Maybe some of you complainers should take a film class. Real cameramen for real film don't shoot continuous 10 minute clips. They shoot 10 second clips. Watch a movie or TV show someday and time the clips, shooting hours of video to edit it down to a few minutes is moronic but how most of you operate since you have no clue about scripts, timelines, pre-planning, etc. Just totally amateurish.

15 degrees a cold day? Struggling to get out of bed today because of the cold, my phone says its -3! 🤣👍
I have overheating issues with Go Pro too so I am still going for this at least for the convenient design plus Rock steady stabilization and low light capability.
I decided to just get an Action 1 on Ebay.
If you had one choice, would you get the action 2 or gopro 10? The deal breaker for me are cheaper batteries and replaceable lens.

Any news for DJI action 2 improvement please confirm if any
Serious question, Young… is your steering wheel on your left or your right side of the car? Maybe turning off the screen in regulated indoors… 😀
steering wheel on the left :)
车上这个位置可以考虑空调开冷风除霜对着玻璃吹
Is the video you post a camera for review by the company or a camera you buy to use?
Thanks for the update. Seems like a big issue for longer recording
Thank you Young ❤️ …i prefer my Insta 360 go
Nice video! Great presentation on the topic! I wish everyone a happy day and a pleasant weekend to everyone
👍🍀🇱🇺🌞☝️

i will remember that :)! white car
Would it be something a firmware upgrade could fix?
Ooh! BIIIIG issue! Hope they can deal with this swiftly.
did you set temp to high? and is it possible to turn of screen during recording? i think the oled screen always on is whats causing the overheating. btw insta360 go 2 cant record 4k tho, so its not really a comparison.
thanks for the tip! lemme try!
If set to high, it still does overheat but it will take a bit longer to overheat. Also it will get super hot that it will hurt your hand if you hold it more than 3 secs.
The screen can be turned off while recording.
Howabout changing yr micro sd card to higher read and load speed such as Sandisk extreme pro 256? Will there be still overheating issue?
um, i dont know..mine has high speed with just 32gb space.
Thx for sharing your experience
Which image do you prefer? Go2 or Action 2 ?
That intro music sounded like the Glitter Band.
Good info!
Honestly and good review, I like that
Thank you for bringing the 🔥🔥🔥
Young I like that even though you want to say something bad,,, you really don't,, your a kind presenter, plus quite beautiful :-)

Hi Young, has DJI fixed the DJI Action 2 over heating issue??? I wanted to buy one but dare not as i saw your review about the over heating issue
i dont think they did...🤣 i havent used much of my action 2....😅😅
@@Young360 then I better don't buy
Would those mini USB fans help to cool it?
possibly
Improving heat dissipation in such a small & powerful piece of tech.....
I pick the " final way"..
Let's just hope the engineers will eventually find a way to fix the overheating problem!
Under the orange overheating sign i see a massive orange car!
What a crazy coincidence!!🧡👋
Feels like that car was an Audi 🙂
yeah, that was an Audi but at first, i thought it was a taxi LOL
@@Young360 🤣
A pretty fast & classy One!!🔥 🧡👋
Great video. Would love to see Gopro Hero 10 Review... Even if you wind up returning it.
the return policy is not as good here...😅
GoPro 10 or DJ osmo action 2
i havent use gopro10... but i already gave away my action 2 🤣
it's not a fair comparison. recording at 4K is 2 times faster than recording at 1080p (2k).
Try using the same resolution for both and use all the same factors like stabilsation off/on
wrong 4K is 8 times the resolution of 1080p and you have not idea if the data stream is faster unless you know the bitrate
I'm recording in lowest resolution and lowest FPS, screen at lowest brightness, and never get overheating warning, I record up to 30minutes or more and Malaysia is 32c

curious, too... the whole selling point of Action2 over Go2 was thar display...but it overheats bad..
I still love my Osmo action 1.
Just simply set to h.264 will resolve the overheat issue !!!
but i use my old dji omso action,,,best camera
I honestly just like the compact size otherwise I would get Go Pro 10
Hmm. I think I'll stick with my Action 1. At least for the time being.
I'm surprised you didn't mention a 4th way, lower resolution and framerate
Not everything needs to be 4k 120/60. 1080p 24fps is what I've been using
Osmo pocket 2 still my favourite
yeah, pocket 2 is nice!! much preferred than action2
- Hello 👋
I like the Action 2 although this is something taht needs to be resolved. Thank you for offering solutions.
I prefer the Action One. I'll not be upgrading.
I don't understand how these issues make it through the company's own testing before release?
I was thinking to buy action 2...now got confused
Here in Taiwan it has been between 15C - 20C and just saw on one of the major local tech TH-cam channels here that it overheats with 5 - 10 minutes of recording. Winter is short here and I feel sorry for those who got this because it's unacceptable. Don't bring it when you come visit (Yes, we're still waiting for Young 😋).
Hi Johnny!! TW would be one of the first countries i wanna visit when covid...eventually...ends...hopefully soon...😷
Young makes me over heat
🤨😝
shouldnt made it waterproof
ahhh... good point!! that makes overheating worse
Just got mine and tested it on the magnetic lanyard while cycling. Mine shut down around 5mins just with 1080p 60fps and it was at night. This is really disappointing. I feel like I wasted money with this.
i don't like new dji action 2 ,poor product and i confused!
Nooooo !!! 🤮💨
This camera is pure garbage... dji is a drone company

good point, but then i expect my little camera to not stop recording in hyperlapse ;)
It's unusable
Mine has never overheated in 'real life' use.
